As I am in Scotland I thought I would send my silver to auction as the easiest way to sell it. However I was wrong. I received a better price than the top estimate I received from my auction house, paid less commission, no hidden charges, payment received in much less time, didn't have to deal with a patronising valuer, didn't have to transport it to the auction just packed it up in packaging and label sent by Mark and took it to the post office. All together a professional hassle free service. Couldn't recommend more highly

Fergus Gillanders

I was unsure of the process of selling something on-line but I needn't have worried as Mark Littler made the whole thing effortless, quick and easy. They provided expert advice on the options available to me and at no time tried to convince me to take one particular offer. I would highly recommend Mark Littler to anyone wishing to sell or auction an item.

Having bought a cask of whisky back in 2004 we decided that this year was the year to sell it. I approached three different brokers and it wasn't a hard decision to ask Mark to arrange the sale for us. It wasn't only that he said he could achieve the best price for the cask but his professional manor and clear level of knowledge.To sales process was relatively simple with excellent communication throughout. He assisted us with drawing several bottles prior to sale and the logistics of moving the cask.Overall a first class service and if you are wondering he achieved slightly more than the suggested sale price. This was over three times what the first broker offered and 50% more than the second.

As a complete novice in the world of valuable whisky, I was very pleased with how straightforwardly the private sale of my bottle was handled. I was kept informed at all stages and the whole process from my first enquiry to money in the bank took just three weeks. A pleasure doing business.

Ruth Roberts

Mark Littler has now sold several bottles for us personally and helped us sell many more through Whisky Auctioneer. It was so helpful to get advice and practical help with packaging all of our whisky bottles which seemed initially quite daunting. His advice and service has been excellent, and we have been absolutely delighted to deal with Mark and Hannah. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Ruari Truter

18:13 04 Oct 21

Mark was both patient and professional, initially advising and then successfully selling a whisky cask. He, and his staff, talked me through the process, highlighting both opportunities and pitfalls, with simplicity and the minimum of jargon. Mark is extremely knowledgeable on both the distillery side and the market, evident with the excellent price achieved.

Robert Newman

On deciding to sell my rare bottle of Macallan… I chose the option of selling through the Mark Littler online shop rather than through an auction, as there was no hurry. The whole process was dealt with in a very professional way. Mark Littler and his staff kept me informed throughout the sale which was actually completed very quickly.I would not hesitate to use the company again and would highly recommend their services.

Mark Wainwright

My wife bought me a hogshead of Bowmore for my 30th birthday. We’ve been happily paying warehouse rental for 25 years and decided we needed to look into next steps. The warehouse wasn’t very helpful so I started to look on the internet for a whisky broker. There appeared to be a lot of choice but Marks credentials and website information stood out from the crowd. He immediately set me at ease and so I looked no further. I have enjoyed our interactions and have felt from the start that Mark had my best interests at heart with his professional approach, transparency and personal touch. He has kept me informed along the journey which has been an exciting one. As part of the service Mark facilitated the gauging, sampling and selling of the barrel and also coordinated for me to receive a few bottles of this amber nectar for my own consumption. To top it off he achieved a fabulous price. I would recommend Mark to anyone who is lucky enough to have whisky to sell. Many thanks for your service Mark!

Kim Rautenbach

10:15 09 Apr 21

We recently used Mark Littler to sell old Silver tankards and we could not be happier. Fast, friendly & professional service. They assisted through the whole process and was very helpful every step of the way. They will definitely be hearing from us again. I would recommend Mark Littler to anyone, worldwide

Katherine Quinlan

17:53 25 Mar 21

Mark promptly responded to my email inquiry and right from the start was enthusiastic, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Having inherited a vintage investment, living in the West Coast of the US and with absolutely no knowledge of the business I turned it over to Mark and asked him to guide me from start to finish, which he did in an exemplary manner.My praise of Mark could not be any higher, whether on a personal or professional manner he was exceptionally patient and thorough in every aspect of the transaction.

Andrew Atherton

11:38 25 Mar 21

Found Mark via a Google search so was a little apprehensive as couldn't meet face to face. We had some silver flatware we wished to sell and he handled the whole process very quickly and professionally. He achieved a price that was higher than other estimates received from others including well known auction houses. Would heartily recommend.

Malcolm Whalley

23:44 14 Mar 21

Mark recently sold a 26 year old cask of Ardbeg for me. He was vey thorough and professional and achieved an excellent price. His thoroughness was very important to me as I have lived in Sydney, Australia for many years and I needed someone who I could trust with a high vale transaction from the other side of the world. Mark even took the time to personally collect some sample drawings from the distillery and ship to me. I heartily recommend Mark to anyone wishing to sell of buy a cask particularly if they are not resident in the UK.

Tony Bellian

10:16 14 Mar 21

Great advice and service from the team. Prompt payment once the sale was agreed. Will definitely use again.

Ian Garner

Our family inherited a hogshead of whisky which needed to be sold. Having no knowledge of this market the internet revealed Mark Littler who proved to be both knowledgeable and professional. The cask was tasted and sold within a matter of weeks under Mark's guidance which we greatly appreciate.

George Dalton

20:55 25 Jan 21

I found myself in a situation where I needed to sell a much treasured and fairly rare bottle. Mark and Hannah were both extremely helpful, completely transparent, and fair in their valuation. They were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, and made the process very easy and painless. I would recommend them to anyone in a similar position, and would definitely use them again in the future.

David

An excellent professional service provided by Mark and his team. The whole process of selling was easy and efficient.

During the last 12 months I have been actively making tentative enquiries to sell my whisky collection, which I had been collecting for more than 20 years. During this time I had been in discussions with various very well known whisky retailers online, with a view to them purchasing the bottles from me or finding prospective buyers. After many phone calls, emails and conversations, I was left feeling very frustrated and bewildered at their lack of communication in general and commitment to providing me with a service. That was until I discovered Mark Littler through an oline post that had been sent to me from a family member, which highlighted a high profile sale Mark had recently been engaged in. I decided to contact Mark the following day and within hours he had come straight back to me and offered to work with me to sell my collection. This was quite astonishing given the lack of communication that I had received from others. From the outset Mark has always been professional, courteous and friendly, which has made my own experience of using Mark's services an absolute pleasure. His individual care and approach to everything he undertakes on your behalf in providing you with a service is nothing short of exemplary. In no time at all Mark has already sold a much sought after vertical in my collection and I am delighted with the outcome. I would not hesitate in recommending Mark to anyone attempting to sell their own collection.

I got in touch with Mark having read one of his articles online. I was thinking of investing in a cask and had an offer from a company that shall remain nameless. At this point I thought I should seek independent advice. Mark's professional and informative approach to my questions was excellent. He basically saved me from making a huge potential mistake investing with a company that were not throwing straight dice and trying to pitch sales based on false information. I may add that at this point Mark was not pitching any sale to myself, merely offering good, genuine and free advice.I later had the opportunity to use Mark as a consultant to invest in my first Cask. I have found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly.I feel lucky to have sounded out Mark as a broker and hope to be using him again in the future. I can not recommend him and his team highly enough for their help and time!

Pankaj Khushani

07:57 06 Jan 21

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Mark. I was looking to buy a cask of whisky and spoke with numerous brokers. The response, transparency and authenticity from Mark was the one that I liked the most. I highly recommend visiting Mark's website and the process outlined by him to own a whisky cask is the most exhaustive and helps you understand the nuances of owning the cask. I highly recommend Mark and will surely be buying through him again.

Dean Reeves

15:16 29 Dec 20

Recently, I made enquiries with Mark about buying a whisky cask.He very promptly answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision.He was thoroughly professional and there was never any pressure to buy, just support and step-by-step instructions.I am very pleased with the outcome of my cask investment and I look forward to working with Mark again in the future.

Barbara Powell

Nigel Danhash

09:28 20 Dec 20

Mark was true to his word when he advised how long the process would take with selling our Cask of Whisky and what we would expect to receive. He has been very attentive and continued to provide feedback during the sale process and he managed to achieve an exceptional price for us. Thank you Mark, we will be sure to come back to you when we sell our next cask.

Karken Chung

First rate service - achieved a good price for one bottle and coordinated a forwarding service to an auction house for the bottles they didn't receive any offers for. Getting the bottles to them was quick and simple. Communication was quick and courteous. Highly recommended
